If you were going to build the "Ultimate Crappie Boat"......

What would you want in it? Things to make it more fishable!

For all the winds and storms we are having a small to medium aircraft carrier and nothing less.

For you and Sat I would think it would need a portable toliet and an endless supply of BLUE towels !!!!

Locking rod storage boxes along the length of the boat.... def worth the add on!

I am going to have a 16 ft lockable rod storage box.

What I looked for when I bought my new Sea Ark is no carpet, wide on the front so two seats up front would not be jammed together. A low front deck, and a back deck thats easier to get up on without having to climb over a dadgummed bench seat , ample storage, a long rod locker on the side. A hull bottom that is V'd all the way back for a smooth ride. Room to mount a rod transport rack. Enough space on the front so I could mount my two HiTek spider rigs and my Terrova and not have to move anything to deploy my TM or to get on the boat from the front.

The largest screen SI unit made with dual transducers and a 36 volt Trolling motor with 3 group 31 batteries and a separate cranking battery (enclosed space to store all 4.

Front livewell and baitwell. Big front deck, no ribs under the bottom of the boat, 115 or bigger motor, cable steer variable speed trollin motor (my preference) all-welded aluminum and three seat pedestal mounts across the front.

Would be set up like the Triton TA-196 crappie, but bigger. Still can't believe they stopped making that boat in '08. If anyone sees one for sale, let me know.
